Obviously it wouldn’t be like dances and punch, but more of a haunted house type scenario where the general public is invited to check out the area, and we get a chance to put on our best ghostly and demonic outfits and chase the mortals around for a bit.

If you are interested in participating, please let me know via notecard, Myst Panther, in world, asap so I can plan. That would be very helpful! Thanks everyone!

I’ve still got quite a bit to do as far as details are concerned, placing furniture, clues, notecard/inventory givers that will provide clues and lore. A lot of that stuff to write too. Also, sound is a bit thing in horror, so I need to do that yet. However the garden is largely finished, save for one or two little monuments I actually have to do myself. It takes a while to do your own stuff obviously, and to save time I have taken advantage of products that provide a very nice effect. Some things I will likely replace over time. Things like textures, items that I’m not totally happy with, or just need time to create. The upper floor of the house is still under construction, as is the cave area. There’s a new info kiosk beside the area, do please check it out. I hopefully will be putting some updated products and information in there for costuming as well.

Its not always easy to find really good creepy avatars, and with the addition of mesh, there’s been some significant (and often amazing) upgrades to what avatars can look like. Here’s some that I’ve found recently that are pretty cool. I’ve linked them to the Marketplace so its pretty easy to get to them.

This is a mesh avatar, and probably one of the best I’ve seen of your horror staple, the “Creepy little girl”. It would be great for a ghost or even demon. Another great thing about this avatar is the price tag. At only 349L, its quite affordable. You can view a demo in world of this avatar to get a better look at the details. The picture is pretty dark on some monitors.

Another pretty awesome avatar, although perhaps not as appropriate to the House as the previous one, could still work, especially depending on what time your character is from. Another horror staple, “creepy nurse”, done in rather wonderful detail thanks to a partial mesh. Another pretty affordable creeptastic addition. It sits at a pricetag of 575L.

If you are looking to be a zombie or corpse like undead, this highly detailed avatar might be just what you are looking for. A fantastic halloween getup as well if you feel like being the best cadaver you can be. At a highly affordable 99L for this fully mesh and beautifully textured avatar, its like grave robbing!

Maybe you want to just be EXTREMELY creepy. Maybe there isn’t much left of your body, just a HAND. Seriously, this is pretty awesome. You can be a much bloodier version of Thing! Sweet! at 250L, it won’t break your bank either, so you can have it as a standby for when you really just want to mess with people.

Maybe shambling is more your style, and with this zombie avatar kit you will be able to craft yourself into a truly awesome festering undead brain eater. Its a bit more expensive, around 1000L, but does include multiple mix-and-match body parts, an AO, and some bonus intestines. Can you say no to intestines? I think not.

http://crimsonwings.net/rpgnews/jade-shrine-complete#respondThu, 12 Jul 2012 00:01:36 +0000http://crimsonwings.net/?p=245 Read More ...]]>I spent some time building the other week and finally the Jade Shrine is complete. And I dare say it looks spectacularly creepy.

It is still in need of some furnishings and finishing touches, but the building is there for you to explore for the moment. We’ll need some priestess ghosts at some point here to populate the place, but for now its open for creepy explorations.

If you need to find us, just search for “Therianation” in the map, and teleport there. Can’t miss us, we’re the big house that’s just behind you when you teleport in.

http://crimsonwings.net/uncategorized/costuming-for-the-rp-masks#respondMon, 23 Apr 2012 03:44:24 +0000http://crimsonwings.net/?p=32 Read More ...]]>Masks have long played a very big part in Japanese stories, myths, and history.

Here are some very choice finds from the marketplace of amazing Japanese style masks that would fit the setting. Many of them are quite affordable and a very good choice for ghosts and monsters, particularly in their ‘human’ forms, or ghosts in general.

Lantern sells many sorts of masks, including those of anime such as Bleach and Naruto, but we want to focus on the ones that appear more traditionally authentic. Namely these wonderful demon masks. They have several features, including the ability to hide the horns and glowing eyes. They are slightly cheaper than the above masks, at around 280L. Red isn’t the only colour he has either, they come in a variety of shades including blue, green, red, and grey. He also has another variant of the mask that seems made for women, specifically as when you click the mask, a woman’s laugh is heard. Creepy!

While this isn’t a mask per se, this makeup by Toya Watanabe, I thought was a pretty awesome facepaint, and suitable for those who want to play a fox demon for their human form without a mask. Subtle, but it looks interesting. A good choice for those who spend a lot of time on their look and don’t want to obscure it with a mask.

Obviously a lot of people aren’t as dedicated to it as others, but I thought I would share periodically some nice finds from the Marketplace that you might like to peruse if you are playing (or thinking of playing) that sort of character.

This article is for female ghost players primarily, but some of it might be useful to any ghostly player.

This little gem is a Fuubutsu-Dou product by Nya Alchemi, includes most of what you see here. The skin, shape, kimono, much of which is scripted for easy resizing. There are even attachments for the legs to give the appearance of floating. The only thing really not included is the hair. which is okay, you might want to add your own customization there anyway. But more or less, its a full avatar right off. At a very affordable 250L, that’s not bad at all.

You might have most of an avatar, but need a kimono with a little ‘flare’. This one, by Lumina Elvehjem, is quite haunting, although perhaps a little pricey, at 400L. A very nice, scary look. This one could work for a man or woman really though.

If you are looking for a nice japanese haunted effect, check out this Hitodama Circle by FallnAngel Creations. There are many different variations, so there’s a lot to choose from, but its a very good effect for a japanese ghost entity, particularly one that might be fairly powerful, or at least want to appear that way.

Maybe you don’t want to be a human ghost? or want to appear a little more inconspicuous before scaring the pants off a visitor? This might be a good pick of an avatar option for you then. Also by FallnCreations.

This isn’t particularly Japanese, but it is fricken creepy as hell. There is a male counterpart of the groom to this, and I think its generic enough and its MODable, so you can futz around a bit to make it work with the genre. Its worth a look, being as deliciously creepy as it is. This avatar is by xCaleyx Westland and is temporarily on sale for 99L. Can’t beat that price!

This is the website for the Roleplaying game House of the Crimson Wings. The game is under a bit of revision to try to make it more accessible for casual play both in SL and possibly on forums as well.

For updates, please feel free to check this blog, as well you can drop me a notecard in SL, and I’ll get back to you, my avatar is Myst Panther.
